Rep. Poliquin under fire in video, audio over health care legislation
Source: Portland Press Herald
U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin is under fire for his support of the contentious Republican health care legislation following the release this week of separate online video and audio involving constituents challenging him.
In a YouTube video posted Tuesday by the Maine People’s Alliance, a liberal advocacy group that opposes Republican-led health care efforts, Poliquin is seen visiting Nason Park Manor, a senior living center in Bangor. He’s approached by a woman asking why he voted for the House Republican health care bill. The woman was identified by the advocacy group as Valerie Walker, of Winterport.
Poliquin, a Republican representing Maine’s 2nd Congressional District who voted in favor of the House version of the legislation, doesn’t answer and asks whether she’s a resident of the facility, while a woman from his staff briefly puts her hand over the camera to block the video. Poliquin walks away to start a news conference and says he’d take questions after that. The video cuts past the news conference and as Poliquin speaks with a handful of TV reporters there, Walker starts speaking again about cuts to Medicaid and the congressman walks out of the facility.
Jason Savage, executive director of the Maine Republican Party, fired back at Democrats on social media who circulated the video.
